Ádám HORVÁTH
The intent of my work is to integrate personal conflicts, doubts and possible solutions. They function as a relic, a religious object for me, like a canopy of meat excised from the body. I empower them which are capable of locking and preserving my depressed and exiled thoughts and emotions in themselves.
My visual language based on lyrical private mythology brought to life by my current creative attitude. This is how I depict theatrical scenes in the shadow of a dystopian ethos with its dark romance. In this world order, I can defy the will of the community and the desire to belong to the community. This ability is a magical transformation with which I can override social and moral issues.
